Genetically altered cotton plant proves pest-proof;
future use of caterpillar insecticides to change
preying on a new genetically altered
cotton plant will be ea^Jng their last
meal.
Tests this summer in Texas, Mis
sissippi, Arizona and California
showed that the caterpillars died of
ten after eating only a bite or two of
the leaves or bolls of the altered cot
ton.
Because of such deaths, these
plants were almost as damage-free as
unaltered cotton nearby that had
been sprayed several times with in
secticide.
The altered plants had been
tested successfully in greenhouses,
but scientists were unsure that the
tactic would work under field condi
tions.
Unfortunately, the tactic has no
effect on the boll weevil, a com
pletely different kind of insect.
“If the new technology passes all
its tests it could practically eliminate
insecticide sprays for caterpillar
pests in cotton,” said David Altman
of the Agricultural Research Serv
ice’s Southern Crops Research Labo
ratory in College Station.
The Texas fields were near Col
lege Station, in the Brazos River bot
tomlands, and near Lubbock in the
Panhandle."'
The plants were developed by the
Monsanto Co. and tested by the Ag
ricultural Research Service, part of
the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The technical label for the plants is
transgenic because scientists at Mon
santo inserted a gene from a com
mercially available bacteria known as
Bacillus thuringiensis.
The bacteria manufacture a pro
tein toxic to many caterpillars and
widely used in sprays by organic gar
deners and some commercial farm
ers. The new plants manufacture the
protein, a big advantage over sprays,
which wash off and deteriorate.
“The results were spectacular,”
said Monsanto spokeswoman Lisa
Drake at company headquarters in
St. Louis.
Killed were caterpillars of several
lepidopteran moths, including the
tobacco budworm, cotton bollworm,
pink bollworm and beet armyworm.
Candidate questions use of TV clip in ad
AUSTIN (AP) — The candidates
for chief justice of the Texas Su
preme Court are at odds over a tele
vision commercial being aired by in
cumbent GOP Chief Justice Tom
Phillips.
The ad includes a film clip from a
CBS-TV “60 Minutes” program on
the Texas court that was titled “Jus
tice for Sale?”
Phillips’ opponent. Democratic
Justice Oscar Mauzy, on Thursday
made public a letter from CBS in
which the network said the program
was copyrighted and that CBS “does
not authorize the use of its broad
casts, in whole or in part, for any
partisan political purpose.”
Mauzy said Phillips should stop
broadcasting the ad. Phillips’ cam
paign manager, Pat Berry, said she
and Phillips saw no need to do so.
“In order to safeguard First
Amendment values, federal copy
right laws permit all persons to make
fair use of copyrighted material,”
Berry said.
“Expert legal counsel, knowledge
able of copyright law, advised the
campaign that its use of excerpts
from ‘Justice for Sale?’ fully com
plied with copyright regulations,”
she said.
Mauzy said the Phillips’ ad un
fairly implies that he was the target
of the CBS program and released a
statement from a CBS producer say
ing Mauzy appeared to discuss his
support of continued judicial elec
tions.
“It is ironic,” Mauzy said, “that
Justice Phillips, who has based his
campaign on his integrity, would al
low such distortions to appear in his
advertising — not once but twice
now.” Phillips also used a CBS clip in
his 1988 campaign.
